We know too well the tyrannies of the present day world sustain themselves by delivering endless propaganda and our being ignorant of own history and our place in the world.

If we know that we are ignorant of something, then whose fault is it for the continued ignorance?

Maybe I'm being too literalist here, and "We know too well..." is just a figure of speech, or each of the two usages of "we" refers to a different group, but still. You might wanna read Orwell's Politics And The English Language to see what he says about mixed metaphors and what they reveal about a writer's thought process.
